The amazon is filled with all kinds of river monsters and we all know the Piranha is the most famous. But one of the biggest river monsters in the Amazon, and one of my favorites, is the one they call the Arapaima.
Arapaima are these long sleek looking fish that can grow up to 2 and half meters ( or around 8 feet). The record weight this monster is 200 KG or about 440 LBs, but on average they are about half that.
Arapaima are considered to be an ancient fish - scientists estimate they are descendants of fish that date back more than 250 million years.
One of the reasons I think they’ve been so successful at survival are these amazing armor-like scales that cover their body. These scales are super light, but so strong, not even Piranha can bite through them.
Today I’m with my my friend and pro fisherman Steve Townson, sometimes called the fish finder. We’re deep in the Amazon where we hope to catch one of these monsters for a close up and personal encounter…
STEVE: What we’re going to do is paddle up there where there is a lake, see if we can pick up an Arapaima or two…
As it turns out, Arapaima prefer Lakes & small creeks to Rivers…
STEVE: They prefer this, they like a nice quiet life… protect themselves from Predators because they are really easy to catch.
One of the other reasons Arapaima are easy to catch is because they are air breathers.
Steve: Because they come up - gulp air and go down. So you cast out in front of them and bang!
It all sounded like we could get this done quick, but no sooner did we get to the lake, than it started to rain and lightening. That’s not good when you are in aluminum boat… we had to take cover…
But like I always say, at BillsChannel, when the going gets tough, the tough reach for the cooler.
It was too dangerous for us to stay out on the open lake, so Steve decided to explore a small creek.
It wasn’t easy going, but the rain stopped, and gave Steve a better chance of spotting an Arapaima coming up for air.
A few bubbles appeared next to his float. That’s when Steve knew he had come to the right place.
Steve: I knew he was here…
Arapaima are gentle creatures but they can be very dangerous…. Steve and his guide have to be very careful… they can launch at you and inflict some serious damage.
Once we got the thing up close you could see the spectacular scales the Arapaima armors itself with. I can see why scientists are studying the scales to see how something so thin can be so strong.

National geographic - Amazon River Documnetary - BBC wildlife animal documentary
The Amazon River (US /ˈæməzɒn/ or UK /ˈæməzən/; Spanish and Portuguese: Amazonas) in South America is the largest river by discharge of water in the world, and either the second or first in length.
Although the Amazon's most distant source has been accepted for nearly a century as the headwaters of the Apurímac river on Nevado Mismi,[4] a 2014 study indicates that the Amazon's most distant source is on the Cordillera Rumi Cruz at the headwaters of the Mantaro river in Peru.[5] The Mantaro and Apurímac confluence, and with other tributaries form the Ucayali, which in turn confluences with the River Marañón upstream of Iquitos, Peru, to form what countries other than Brazil consider to be the main stem of the Amazon. For Brazil this section of the river is the Solimões until it confluences with the Rio Negro[6] at the Meeting of Waters (Portuguese: Encontro das Águas) at Manaus, the river's largest city.

You know just when I thought we had covered all the giant piranha species, along comes one I have never heard of. My nephew William Barboza from Presbyterian School in Houston.. sent me a text the other day and said he wanted to see the Giant Silver Piranha… I never even heard of these things… but you know what, I think I know somebody who has…
But I know somebody who probably has… The amazon angler and fish finder, Steve Townson.
STEVE: You asked me to find the giant black Piranha and I found it for you. And Now you want me to find the elusive giant silver Piranha… well we’re going to give it a try here on the rio Vishada in Colombia. Lodge owner Alejo Diaz is going to help me in my quest…
Now to be honest, I couldn’t find much information on this giant beast before my trip. But according to Steve and Alejo they are very real and grow as big, if not bigger than the black piranha.
Alejo said they could best be found in some of the lagoons not far from his lodge.
That all sounded easy enough but in reality, it was a pretty tough slog. The area was suffering from a drought and the water was way too low for the boat’s engine.
I was starting to think we came a long way for nothing…. I mean, even Steve was out huffing and puffing.
I was waiting for someone to get stung by a freshwater stingray… they’re famous for hanging out in these little creeks… and believe me, they do live up to their nickname “Make grown men cry.”
The lagoon was much bigger than I thought it was going to be... But as soon as Alejo and Steve get their hooks in the water - it was action time ladies and gentlemen
The place was full of all sorts of fish… including huge 3 bar peacock and loads of Payara also known as Vampire fish…
We were just about to break for lunch when Alejo got something different on the line. When he got the fish closer, he said it was the Piranha Plateada -- the one we were looking for…
Now that I had a picture of it, I was able to do a little more research. Based on comparisons with other piranha that seemed to match it, it’s called a Serrasalmus manueli Piranha.
According to Piranha Info.com this species is the largest species of Piranha known to man. It can easily grow up to 20 Inches long or about 50 centimeters. And it can weigh up to 12 lbs or 5 and half kilos!
And now, how about a little pop quiz. Are you ready? Ok here we go. Piranha’s are known to have a really strong bite but is it the strongest bite in the world? What do you think?
Leave your answer in the comment section below and then write to me for the official answer
In the subject of your email make sure to write “Piranha Bite” just like that without the quote marks. Then send that to billschannel@gmail.com

Read my blog about the latest amazing discovery on Electric Eels http://billschannel.com/?p=2305
Hey guys, Bill here, In this series we have covered scores of epic amazon river monsters, like the Black Piranha, the Vampire Fish, and Arapaima.

__________________________
Today, we’re heading deep, deep into the Amazon - to a place you can only reach by float plane - and that’s because this time, Steve Townson and I are looking for something really special.
STEVE: Today I am gong to take you to see one of the most dangerous river monsters there is… the electric eel… Now I am a little bit nervous about this… and a little scared too because they are known to kill people. You wait until you see this.
Electric eels, as it turns out are not actually eels.They come from the knife fish family. They are closer to Carp and catfish than they are true eels… They are air breathers that like to inhabit the swamps and creeks around here. And that’s where Steve starts his hunt.
These eels we’re looking for can grow to 8.2 feet or about 2 and a half meters. They can weigh up to 44 lbs or 20 Kilos. According to some sources, they can put out a electric jolt of up 900 Volts which is more than enough to stop a human heart.
Electric eels create their voltage by using 80% of their body mass to store 6000 or so cells that act like tiny batteries. Once fully charged, the eel can release all that stored energy at once, or in a series of jolts, depending on the needs of the situation. In this case, a caiman thought it might go for an eel dinner. but the eel used a full jolt to show the caiman it’s fatal mistake.
There are many ways to catch electric eels. Some indians lure them into a pool of poisoned water. Jeremy Wade from River Monsters fame likes to use a lasso… but Steve likes to stick with small circle hooks…
One way not to catch them is like this. In this video, the fisherman learns the hard way that it’s not a good idea to stand in the water while trying to catch them… Luckily his friends pulled him out of the water before he drowned… and he survived unhurt…
Now that we see it up close, look how small those eyes are... That’s because electric eels don’t use their eyes very much. Instead they use electrical impulses as radar to move around and even hunt prey….
Now the trick will be getting him off the hook without getting shocked. We should have brought rubber gloves, but then again, why spend money on that when a twig will do the job for free.
STEVE - There ya go a real Amazon river monster…. that thing could kill you.
On the way home, we stopped to get some underwater footage of electric eels at this creek we found…We wanted to see better how they move themselves around so well without a big tail fin.
Now look on the bottom of the fish here. You see these fantails that run along the bottom of the eel. These are actually very long anal fins used to propel the fish. Depending on how they are used, they can propel the fish forward, in reverse, up, and down. Very cool.
BILL: Well okay, that all the time I have for this video. I want to thank Steve for taking the time to show me that amazing fish… and also asks you guys a question.
From where does the electric eel produce more voltage, the head, or the tail? Leave you answer in the comment section below and then e-mail me for the official answer! Now here are some scenes from other videos in this series…

WRITE TO ME AT BILLSCHANNEL@GMAIL.COM if you want to know the name of the creature at 5:33....... Most people think there is only one type of Piranha, but actually there are over twenty different types living in the rivers of South America. The most famous is the small red bellied Piranha - but the biggest and baddest Piranha in the Amazon is the lesser known Black Piranha.
The Black Piranha, sometimes called Redeye Piranha live in very diverse habitats ranging from soft blackwater to hard whitewater areas of the Amazon. They are the biggest of Amazon Piranhas and have been caught weighing up to 9.5 pounds.
Just recently, a group of scientists have determined that the black Piranha have the strongest bite relative to body weight than any other creature on the planet, past or present.
+++++ STEVE TOWNSON'S WEB PAGE http://www.amazon-angler.com ++++++
WOLF FISH
The Wolf Fish has a maximum diameter of 39 inches and can weigh up to about 90 pounds. It has the ability to live almost anywhere in the Amazon and usually feeds at night.
Wolf Fish can be very aggressive. There are reported instances of Wolf attacking humans in the water. There are other reports of them attacking and killing dogs that have fallen in waters occupied by Wolf Fish.
STEVE TOWNSON - THE FISH FINDER
A very big thanks to Steve Townson for helping us get a close up look at a black piranha. If you are interested in knowing more about Steve, or would like to consider joining one of his exciting fishing excursions to the Amazon, stop by his website at http://www.amazon-angler.com

Meet the man with Superman Eyes!
When it comes to amazon river monsters, the one that gets a lot of attention these days is the one they call, the Pacu…
Pacu come in many different shapes and sizes, but all of them are related to the Piranha. But unlike Piranha, Pacu are mostly herbivores. They use their human like teeth to eat (among other things) nuts and fruits that fall from trees into the water.
Now, the reason why Pacu get so much attention is that they have gained a reputation (true or false) for biting men’s testicles.
Now I’ve already covered this castrative issue in my “Real or Fake” video series, so if you want to check it out - here is the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJz1n2-TzZU
Today, I’m out with pro-fisherman Steve Townson to find the biggest pacu we can find…And we’re going to do it with the help of our boat driver and guide, Stephan Andres.
Stephan is part Arawak Indian and will show us the preferred method of catching Pacu locally, with a bow and arrow.
Now, I put a small camera on Stephen’s head to see if we can see what he sees. He’s always pointing at Pacu underwater but I never see anything. I swear, these guys out here have superman eyes.
The Pacu they have around our location are called Red Pacu. Red’s can grow up to 11 kilograms (or about 25Lbs), so they aren’t small.
Stephan will be keeping his catch today so he can take it home for dinner. Pacu is part of the local diet here.
Wow, he got his fish on the first shot. amazing… Let’s go back over the gopro video to see if we can see what he is looking at… in slow motion.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t see anything until right here when it is all over.
Now here’s a few scenes from the other videos you can watch in this series.

The Amazon River (US 
/ˈæməzɒn/ or UK /ˈæməzən/; Spanish & Portuguese: Amazonas) in South America is the second longest river in the world and by far the largest by waterflow with an average discharge greater than the next seven largest rivers combined (not including Madeira and Rio Negro, which are tributaries of the Amazon). The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometres (2,720,000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world's total river flow.
In its upper stretches, above the confluence of the Negro River, the Amazon is called Solimões in Brazil; however, in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, as well as the rest of the Spanish-speaking world, the river is generally called the Amazon downstream from the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers in Peru. The Ucayali-Apurímac river system is considered the main source of the Amazon.
The width of the Amazon varies between 1.6 and 10 kilometres (1.0 and 6.2 mi) at low stage, but expands during the wet season to 48 kilometres (30 mi) or more. The river enters the Atlantic Ocean in a broad estuary about 240 kilometres (150 mi) wide. The mouth of the main stem is 80 kilometres (50 mi). Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea. The first bridge in the Amazon river system (over the Rio Negro) opened on October 10, 2010. It is just outside Manaus.

On the way home, we stopped to get some underwater footage of electric eels at this creek we found…We wanted to see better how they move themselves around so well without a big tail fin. Now look on the bottom of the fish here. You see these fantails that run along the bottom of the eel. These are actually very long anal fins used to propel the fish. Depending on how they are used, they can propel the fish forward, in reverse, up, and down. Very cool. BILL: Well okay, that all the time I have for this video. I want to thank Steve for taking the time to show me that amazing fish… and also asks you guys a question. From where does the electric eel produce more voltage, the head, or the tail? Leave you answer in the comment section below and then e-mail me for the official answer! Now here are some scenes from other videos in this series… -

BIGGEST PIRANHA - Amazon River MonstersBIGGEST PIRANHA - Amazon River Monsters
WRITE TO ME AT BILLSCHANNEL@GMAIL.COM if you want to know the name of the creature at 5:33....... Most people think there is only one type of Piranha, but actually there are over twenty different types living in the rivers of South America. The most famous is the small red bellied Piranha - but the biggest and baddest Piranha in the Amazon is the lesser known Black Piranha. The Black Piranha, sometimes called Redeye Piranha live in very diverse habitats ranging from soft blackwater to hard whitewater areas of the Amazon. They are the biggest of Amazon Piranhas and have been caught weighing up to 9.5 pounds. Just recently, a group of scientists have determined that the black Piranha have the strongest bite relative to body weight than any other creature on the planet, past or present. +++++ STEVE TOWNSON'S WEB PAGE http://www.amazon-angler.com ++++++ WOLF FISH The Wolf Fish has a maximum diameter of 39 inches and can weigh up to about 90 pounds. It has the ability to live almost anywhere in the Amazon and usually feeds at night. Wolf Fish can be very aggressive. There are reported instances of Wolf attacking humans in the water. There are other reports of them attacking and killing dogs that have fallen in waters occupied by Wolf Fish. STEVE TOWNSON - THE FISH FINDER A very big thanks to Steve Townson for helping us get a close up look at a black piranha. If you are interested in knowing more about Steve, or would like to consider joining one of his exciting fishing excursions to the Amazon, stop by his website at http://www.amazon-angler.com Please make sure to subscribe to this channel so you know when more videos like this one are posted. -

INDIAN BOWFISHING GIANT PACU - Amazon River MonstersINDIAN BOWFISHING GIANT PACU - Amazon River Monsters
Meet the man with Superman Eyes! When it comes to amazon river monsters, the one that gets a lot of attention these days is the one they call, the Pacu… Pacu come in many different shapes and sizes, but all of them are related to the Piranha. But unlike Piranha, Pacu are mostly herbivores. They use their human like teeth to eat (among other things) nuts and fruits that fall from trees into the water. Now, the reason why Pacu get so much attention is that they have gained a reputation (true or false) for biting men’s testicles. Now I’ve already covered this castrative issue in my “Real or Fake” video series, so if you want to check it out - here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJz1n2-TzZU Today, I’m out with pro-fisherman Steve Townson to find the biggest pacu we can find…And we’re going to do it with the help of our boat driver and guide, Stephan Andres. Stephan is part Arawak Indian and will show us the preferred method of catching Pacu locally, with a bow and arrow. Now, I put a small camera on Stephen’s head to see if we can see what he sees. He’s always pointing at Pacu underwater but I never see anything. I swear, these guys out here have superman eyes. The Pacu they have around our location are called Red Pacu. Red’s can grow up to 11 kilograms (or about 25Lbs), so they aren’t small. Stephan will be keeping his catch today so he can take it home for dinner. Pacu is part of the local diet here. Wow, he got his fish on the first shot. amazing… Let’s go back over the gopro video to see if we can see what he is looking at… in slow motion. I don’t know about you, but I don’t see anything until right here when it is all over. Now here’s a few scenes from the other videos you can watch in this series. -

15 Amazon River Monsters

EPIC AMAZON RIVER MONSTER
The amazon is filled with all kinds of river monsters and we all know the Piranha is the most famous. But one of the biggest river monsters in the Amazon, and one of my favorites, is the one they call the Arapaima. Arapaima are these long sleek looking fish that can grow up to 2 and half meters ( or around 8 feet). The record weight this monster is 200 KG or about 440 LBs, but on average they are about half that. Arapaima are considered to be an ancient fish - scientists estimate they are descendants of fish that date back more than 250 million years. One of the reasons I think they’ve been so successful at survival are these amazing armor-like scales that cover their body. These scales are super light, but so strong, not even Piranha can bite through them. Today I’m with my my... -

The amazon is filled with all kinds of river monsters and we all know the Piranha is the most famous. But one of the biggest river monsters in the Amazon, and one of my favorites, is the one they call the Arapaima.
Arapaima are these long sleek looking fish that can grow up to 2 and half meters ( or around 8 feet). The record weight this monster is 200 KG or about 440 LBs, but on average they are about half that.
Arapaima are considered to be an ancient fish - scientists estimate they are descendants of fish that date back more than 250 million years.
One of the reasons I think they’ve been so successful at survival are these amazing armor-like scales that cover their body. These scales are super light, but so strong, not even Piranha can bite through them.
Today I’m with my my friend and pro fisherman Steve Townson, sometimes called the fish finder. We’re deep in the Amazon where we hope to catch one of these monsters for a close up and personal encounter…
STEVE: What we’re going to do is paddle up there where there is a lake, see if we can pick up an Arapaima or two…
As it turns out, Arapaima prefer Lakes & small creeks to Rivers…
STEVE: They prefer this, they like a nice quiet life… protect themselves from Predators because they are really easy to catch.
One of the other reasons Arapaima are easy to catch is because they are air breathers.
Steve: Because they come up - gulp air and go down. So you cast out in front of them and bang!
It all sounded like we could get this done quick, but no sooner did we get to the lake, than it started to rain and lightening. That’s not good when you are in aluminum boat… we had to take cover…
But like I always say, at BillsChannel, when the going gets tough, the tough reach for the cooler.
It was too dangerous for us to stay out on the open lake, so Steve decided to explore a small creek.
It wasn’t easy going, but the rain stopped, and gave Steve a better chance of spotting an Arapaima coming up for air.
A few bubbles appeared next to his float. That’s when Steve knew he had come to the right place.
Steve: I knew he was here…
Arapaima are gentle creatures but they can be very dangerous…. Steve and his guide have to be very careful… they can launch at you and inflict some serious damage.
Once we got the thing up close you could see the spectacular scales the Arapaima armors itself with. I can see why scientists are studying the scales to see how something so thin can be so strong.

You know just when I thought we had covered all the giant piranha species, along comes one I have never heard of. My nephew William Barboza from Presbyterian School in Houston.. sent me a text the other day and said he wanted to see the Giant Silver Piranha… I never even heard of these things… but you know what, I think I know somebody who has…
But I know somebody who probably has… The amazon angler and fish finder, Steve Townson.
STEVE: You asked me to find the giant black Piranha and I found it for you. And Now you want me to find the elusive giant silver Piranha… well we’re going to give it a try here on the rio Vishada in Colombia. Lodge owner Alejo Diaz is going to help me in my quest…
Now to be honest, I couldn’t find much information on this giant beast before my trip. But according to Steve and Alejo they are very real and grow as big, if not bigger than the black piranha.
Alejo said they could best be found in some of the lagoons not far from his lodge.
That all sounded easy enough but in reality, it was a pretty tough slog. The area was suffering from a drought and the water was way too low for the boat’s engine.
I was starting to think we came a long way for nothing…. I mean, even Steve was out huffing and puffing.
I was waiting for someone to get stung by a freshwater stingray… they’re famous for hanging out in these little creeks… and believe me, they do live up to their nickname “Make grown men cry.”
The lagoon was much bigger than I thought it was going to be... But as soon as Alejo and Steve get their hooks in the water - it was action time ladies and gentlemen
The place was full of all sorts of fish… including huge 3 bar peacock and loads of Payara also known as Vampire fish…
We were just about to break for lunch when Alejo got something different on the line. When he got the fish closer, he said it was the Piranha Plateada -- the one we were looking for…
Now that I had a picture of it, I was able to do a little more research. Based on comparisons with other piranha that seemed to match it, it’s called a Serrasalmus manueli Piranha.
According to Piranha Info.com this species is the largest species of Piranha known to man. It can easily grow up to 20 Inches long or about 50 centimeters. And it can weigh up to 12 lbs or 5 and half kilos!
And now, how about a little pop quiz. Are you ready? Ok here we go. Piranha’s are known to have a really strong bite but is it the strongest bite in the world? What do you think?
Leave your answer in the comment section below and then write to me for the official answer
In the subject of your email make sure to write “Piranha Bite” just like that without the quote marks. Then send that to billschannel@gmail.com

STEVE: You asked me to find the giant black Piranha and I found it for you. And Now you want me to find the elusive giant silver Piranha… well we’re going to give it a try here on the rio Vishada in Colombia. Lodge owner Alejo Diaz is going to help me in my quest…
Now to be honest, I couldn’t find much information on this giant beast before my trip. But according to Steve and Alejo they are very real and grow as big, if not bigger than the black piranha.
Alejo said they could best be found in some of the lagoons not far from his lodge.
That all sounded easy enough but in reality, it was a pretty tough slog. The area was suffering from a drought and the water was way too low for the boat’s engine.
I was starting to think we came a long way for nothing…. I mean, even Steve was out huffing and puffing.
I was waiting for someone to get stung by a freshwater stingray… they’re famous for hanging out in these little creeks… and believe me, they do live up to their nickname “Make grown men cry.”
The lagoon was much bigger than I thought it was going to be... But as soon as Alejo and Steve get their hooks in the water - it was action time ladies and gentlemen
The place was full of all sorts of fish… including huge 3 bar peacock and loads of Payara also known as Vampire fish…
We were just about to break for lunch when Alejo got something different on the line. When he got the fish closer, he said it was the Piranha Plateada -- the one we were looking for…
Now that I had a picture of it, I was able to do a little more research. Based on comparisons with other piranha that seemed to match it, it’s called a Serrasalmus manueli Piranha.
According to Piranha Info.com this species is the largest species of Piranha known to man. It can easily grow up to 20 Inches long or about 50 centimeters. And it can weigh up to 12 lbs or 5 and half kilos!
And now, how about a little pop quiz. Are you ready? Ok here we go. Piranha’s are known to have a really strong bite but is it the strongest bite in the world? What do you think?
Leave your answer in the comment section below and then write to me for the official answer
In the subject of your email make sure to write “Piranha Bite” just like that without the quote marks. Then send that to billschannel@gmail.com

__________________________
Today, we’re heading deep, deep into the Amazon - to a place you can only reach by float plane - and that’s because this time, Steve Townson and I are looking for something really special.
STEVE: Today I am gong to take you to see one of the most dangerous river monsters there is… the electric eel… Now I am a little bit nervous about this… and a little scared too because they are known to kill people. You wait until you see this.
Electric eels, as it turns out are not actually eels.They come from the knife fish family. They are closer to Carp and catfish than they are true eels… They are air breathers that like to inhabit the swamps and creeks around here. And that’s where Steve starts his hunt.
These eels we’re looking for can grow to 8.2 feet or about 2 and a half meters. They can weigh up to 44 lbs or 20 Kilos. According to some sources, they can put out a electric jolt of up 900 Volts which is more than enough to stop a human heart.
Electric eels create their voltage by using 80% of their body mass to store 6000 or so cells that act like tiny batteries. Once fully charged, the eel can release all that stored energy at once, or in a series of jolts, depending on the needs of the situation. In this case, a caiman thought it might go for an eel dinner. but the eel used a full jolt to show the caiman it’s fatal mistake.
There are many ways to catch electric eels. Some indians lure them into a pool of poisoned water. Jeremy Wade from River Monsters fame likes to use a lasso… but Steve likes to stick with small circle hooks…
One way not to catch them is like this. In this video, the fisherman learns the hard way that it’s not a good idea to stand in the water while trying to catch them… Luckily his friends pulled him out of the water before he drowned… and he survived unhurt…
Now that we see it up close, look how small those eyes are... That’s because electric eels don’t use their eyes very much. Instead they use electrical impulses as radar to move around and even hunt prey….
Now the trick will be getting him off the hook without getting shocked. We should have brought rubber gloves, but then again, why spend money on that when a twig will do the job for free.
STEVE - There ya go a real Amazon river monster…. that thing could kill you.
On the way home, we stopped to get some underwater footage of electric eels at this creek we found…We wanted to see better how they move themselves around so well without a big tail fin.
Now look on the bottom of the fish here. You see these fantails that run along the bottom of the eel. These are actually very long anal fins used to propel the fish. Depending on how they are used, they can propel the fish forward, in reverse, up, and down. Very cool.
BILL: Well okay, that all the time I have for this video. I want to thank Steve for taking the time to show me that amazing fish… and also asks you guys a question.
From where does the electric eel produce more voltage, the head, or the tail? Leave you answer in the comment section below and then e-mail me for the official answer! Now here are some scenes from other videos in this series…

WRITE TO ME AT BILLSCHANNEL@GMAIL.COM if you want to know the name of the creature at 5:33....... Most people think there is only one type of Piranha, but actually there are over twenty different types living in the rivers of South America. The most famous is the small red bellied Piranha - but the biggest and baddest Piranha in the Amazon is the lesser known Black Piranha.
The Black Piranha, sometimes called Redeye Piranha live in very diverse habitats ranging from soft blackwater to hard whitewater areas of the Amazon. They are the biggest of Amazon Piranhas and have been caught weighing up to 9.5 pounds.
Just recently, a group of scientists have determined that the black Piranha have the strongest bite relative to body weight than any other creature on the planet, past or present.
+++++ STEVE TOWNSON'S WEB PAGE http://www.amazon-angler.com ++++++
WOLF FISH
The Wolf Fish has a maximum diameter of 39 inches and can weigh up to about 90 pounds. It has the ability to live almost anywhere in the Amazon and usually feeds at night.
Wolf Fish can be very aggressive. There are reported instances of Wolf attacking humans in the water. There are other reports of them attacking and killing dogs that have fallen in waters occupied by Wolf Fish.
STEVE TOWNSON - THE FISH FINDER
A very big thanks to Steve Townson for helping us get a close up look at a black piranha. If you are interested in knowing more about Steve, or would like to consider joining one of his exciting fishing excursions to the Amazon, stop by his website at http://www.amazon-angler.com

Meet the man with Superman Eyes!
When it comes to amazon river monsters, the one that gets a lot of attention these days is the one they call, the Pacu…
Pacu come in many different shapes and sizes, but all of them are related to the Piranha. But unlike Piranha, Pacu are mostly herbivores. They use their human like teeth to eat (among other things) nuts and fruits that fall from trees into the water.
Now, the reason why Pacu get so much attention is that they have gained a reputation (true or false) for biting men’s testicles.
Now I’ve already covered this castrative issue in my “Real or Fake” video series, so if you want to check it out - here is the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJz1n2-TzZU
Today, I’m out with pro-fisherman Steve Townson to find the biggest pacu we can find…And we’re going to do it with the help of our boat driver and guide, Stephan Andres.
Stephan is part Arawak Indian and will show us the preferred method of catching Pacu locally, with a bow and arrow.
Now, I put a small camera on Stephen’s head to see if we can see what he sees. He’s always pointing at Pacu underwater but I never see anything. I swear, these guys out here have superman eyes.
The Pacu they have around our location are called Red Pacu. Red’s can grow up to 11 kilograms (or about 25Lbs), so they aren’t small.
Stephan will be keeping his catch today so he can take it home for dinner. Pacu is part of the local diet here.
Wow, he got his fish on the first shot. amazing… Let’s go back over the gopro video to see if we can see what he is looking at… in slow motion.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t see anything until right here when it is all over.
Now here’s a few scenes from the other videos you can watch in this series.
